Just hope he can find someone to take us on because the last few “ takeovers” have descended into absolute farce. Don’t think I can take another Sheard/ Sclub7/ land of fire/ billsaja fiasco. Mad times either way eh mate Such sad times But it's been so inevitable for about three or four years now The alarm bells have been very clearly ringing for ages 1 1 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That disappeared after Wembley! That 1 season was actually great, aggressive attacking football! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could cut the embarrassment in the stadium with a knife. I actually thought that was quite memorable and respectful, helped by the fact that the club was doing well and DC was actually doing a good job which fans appreciated. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SallyCinnamon Posted December 29, 2020 Author Share Posted December 29, 2020 THE SURVEY. How could I forget. The survey where the chairman let the fans decide if we wanted continued investment into the squad to challenge for promotion or if wanted no investment and to promote the youngsters instead. The survey was an absolute horror show with loaded questions. The fans voted for continued investment. Two successive summer transfer embargo’s followed. https://www.swfc.co.uk/news/2018/february/owls-thank-supporters/ 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

briggowl Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 We needed a Midfield enforcer to stop us getting bullied and transform us into a top Champ team, 5 years ago. We still never got that did we? 20+ signings later that range from odd to WTF, breaking all transfer records and smashing our wage budget into oblivion, while banging on constantly about FFP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each to his own. I thought he got away with it because we were happy enough with him to indulge it at the time. Looking back it was a ridiculous bit of conceit. Alright for a family member but not someone else's head of state. It was respectful because we were polite and respectful. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
